13: AAAAH! More Zombies

================================================================================

For today’s hack I’m revisiting yesterday’s zombie game
(https://blog.omgmog.net/post/cardboctober-12) again. With a full re-write to
un-bodge the implementation.

There are a couple of things I’ve changed in the re-write:

* Zombies get faster to you the closer you are to them
* Health/death added!
* Zombies have full bodies now

And a couple of things that didn’t make it in to the re-write:

* Can’t kill the zombies with your death stare anymore
* Game doesn’t restart automatically

This time I’m using a separate 2D layer (some HTML!) outside of the renderer for
the red damage overlay and the “You are dead” message.

I think this hack needs a couple more hours of attention before it’s really fun,
but it’s getting there.
